This year’s summer movie season looks different than in years past thanks in large part to Avengers: Endgame. The epic MCU blockbuster was a much-needed reset for not only the MCU but for fans who finally got to see over a decade of storylines come to an end… or at least be put on pause.
Studios seemed to take Marvel’s lead by limiting the number of superhero movies this summer. Aside from Spiderman: Far From Home and the dumpster fire that X-Men Dark Phoenix is bound to be, the summer of 2019 looks like a promising one for movies that don’t involve men and women in tights saving the world. Here areMandatory’s RANKED! Summer Movies of 2019.
